Novel host plant use by a specialist insect depends on geographic variation in both the host and herbivore species
Understanding the circumstances under which insect herbivores will adopt a novel host plant is a longstanding question in basic and applied ecology....

Geographic, climatic, and phylogenetic drivers of variation in colobine activity budgets
Folivorous primates are typically considered time minimizers because the constraints of their unique digestive systems require them to spend a large...

Geographic variation and discrimination of social calls in male great himalayan leaf-nosed bats: do functionally similar calls have similar patterns?
Geographical variation in animals’ acoustic signals has received much attention. However, few studies have compared the patterns and underlying...

Geographic Variation in Genomic Signals of Admixture Between Two Closely Related European Sepsid Fly Species
The extent of interspecific gene flow and its consequences for the initiation, maintenance, and breakdown of species barriers in natural systems...

Geographic variation in acoustic and visual cues and their potential to signal body condition in the Brazilian treefrog, Boana albomarginata
AbstractAnuran communication is largely based on acoustic signals, but different sensory modes are also widespread, including visual communication...

Clock-talk: have we forgotten about geographic variation?
Wyeomyia smithii , the pitcher-plant mosquito, has evolved from south to north and from low to high elevations in eastern North America. Along this...

Morphological Variation in the Cranium of Lagostomus maximus Along Its Geographic Distribution
Three subspecies of Lagostomus maximus have been traditionally recognized (L. maximus maximus, L. maximus immollis, and L. maximus petilidens), but...

Geographic Drivers of Genetic and Plumage Color Diversity in the Blue-Crowned Manakin
Investigating parallel roles of geography and environmental heterogeneity in diversification provides insights on how neutral and selective forces...

Virtual issue: phylogeographic studies in the Japanese Archipelago: from geographic patterns of genetic variation to biodiversity in plants
Phylogeographic studies have investigated genetic variation and structure within species or closely related lineages and are fundamental for...

Discriminant Geographic Variation of Saccular Otolith Shape and Size in the Common Pandora, Pagellus erythrinus (Sparidae) across the Gulf of Gabes, Tunisia
AbstractA total of 243 Pagellus erythrinus saccular otoliths’ shape and size, including length, width, area, and perimeter, were examined among...

Dynamics of haplotypic variation across geographic populations of Venturia inaequalis in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, determined using microsatellite markers
Apple scab caused by Venturia inaequalis is the most threatening plant disease in Aomori Prefecture, which receives heavy snowfall. Here, we...

Integrating ecological niche modeling and rates of evolution to model geographic regions of mimetic color pattern selection
Geographic variation in natural selection derived from biotic sources is an important driver of trait evolution. The evolution of Müllerian mimicry...

Structure and Dynamics of Geographic Ranges
Species’ geographic ranges are the basic unit for many macroecological and biogeographical analyses. In this chapter, we start by discussing the...

Geographic patterns of seed trait variation in an invasive species: how much can close populations differ?
Seeds play a major role in plant species persistence and expansion, and therefore they are essential when modeling species dynamics. However,...

Effects of Environmental Variation in Structuring Population Genetic Variation in the False-Water Cobras (Xenodontinae: Hydrodynastes)
Although rivers are known to promote diversification and shape phylogeographic patterns, they can also be permeable and facilitate the dispersal of...

Geographic and ontogenetic variation in the diet of two commonly exploited batoids (Chilean eagle ray and Pacific guitarfish) off Peru: evidence of trophic plasticity
This study provides information about the diet across geographic areas and throughout ontogeny and sex of two coastal and commercial batoid species...
-
Use of secondary diversity data to improve diversity estimates at multiple geographic scales
Studying the patterns and properties of biological diversity at multiple geographic scales is essential to answering biogeographical and...

Microbiome variation correlates with the insecticide susceptibility in different geographic strains of a significant agricultural pest, Nilaparvata lugens
Microbiome-mediated insecticide resistance is an emerging phenomenon found in insect pests. However, microbiome composition can vary by host genotype...
